We report a case of amiodarone induced torsades de pointes (TdP) associated with increase QT dispersion in a patient with a history of quinidine induced TdP. An increase in QT dispersion of > 100% was noted on the 12 lead surface ECG postamiodarone therapy. In summary, amiodarone has a potential to induce TdP in patients with a previous history of quinidine induced TdP. QT dispersion could be a potential marker of TdP in these patients.
